What about using a Yorkshire fitting with a preloaded solder ring inside.
Well no matter how much I try I still get a slodge of solder somewhere on a join... without fail. Can solder sledges be wiped off?
Here is a picture of what I mean... there's always a splodge. The join is fine... but the slodge is annoying.

Try soldering one end of the joint at a time and solder with the joint vertical, shouldn't have that problem then.
Tried this... but as soon as the solder touches the pipe you get the splodge of solder even when its vertical.
Practice. File the solder to a point. You can solder snots off with a file.

Electronurd;932092After doing a little research quite a few people have suggested using a wire brush or a dry cloth while the solder is still liquid.[/QUOTE said:no dont do that will make it 10 x worse

Hi plumbers, I am popping here today to ask how do I solder a clean join? For example I am currently in the process of creating a lamp for my living room out of copper pipe. I started to solder today and realised I'm crap :smile5:. I cleaned the pipe and the elbows and fluxed, but no matter how hard I tried the solder went everywhere and I ended up with proper messy pipe joins.
I would like to create something like the following:

as you can see the joins are spectacular and look very clean and nicely done. My question is how??
thought I'd ask plumbers as you may know?
Epoxy resin.
One thing that I will definitely look at is the silver solder. That sounds like a very good idea.
You can do but soldering with plumbers solder is a good skill to have
